Hi Alan,

You need to put [IMG] tags around the URLs. An easy way is to use the postcard icon in the editor.

Well done Alan.

Smashing system.

Exceptional speakers, very good amplifiers and the best turntable I have ever owned and continue to regret selling.

Roy Allison is very undervalued and misunderstood in the UK, he IMO makes the BBC type designers look like they live on another planet. He understood speakers have to work in a room not an anechoic chamber.

Lovelly looking system and very jealous around the Trio

Wow, i must be seeing things? Corner mounted speakers with the bass driver at the very bottom, right in the corner...

Something tells me they must have a very low Q & a gradual rolloff from above 100Hz to avoid too much bass reinforcement

What speakers are they out of interest?

Love the TT by the way, what a beauty that Trio is

Great looking (and I'm sure, sounding) system, Alan.

Hello Mark, I used to be the importer for Allison Acoustics and Roy Allisons ethos was something called room coupling, I don't technically know what that is, but he said it was to do with having the bass driver close to a reflective surface, floor and walls, so they interacted with the room and the other drive units, they are supposed to be used within 2 inches of a wall, they were superbly built and Allison were so confident in their quality control, there was no such thing as a matched pair, the tweeter is a pulsating hemisphere, I understood that to mean it moved like a jellyfish swimming and not an in-out piston action like some tweeters,as far as I am aware they were world patented to be the only speaker with a 180 degree dispersal, so you can sit off centre if you wish,(that was 25 years ago, if that's the case now I don't know) figures I remember were they had a flat response down to 40 Hz and a peak handling capability of 1,760 watts, If you want all the official figures and explanations google Allison,what I am sure of is they are one of the best speakers I have ever heard, some of you remember hearing them at Hi-Fi shows like Swiss cottage,Manchester and we won best at show in Edinburgh using Albarry/Allisons. If only someone would relaunch them,but maybe I'm just harping on a memory,PS the Allison ones are like 2 threes back to back and you can place them facing you or one facing you and the other on a side wall. enjoy your music Alan and thank you for your comments about my LO7D

Hi Alan, cheers for that Yep, Alllison i have heard of & now it all falls into place very nicely with my thoughts on the gradually rolling of anechoic bass response

Deliberately designed to use the natural reinforcement of the room & it's boundaries to create a flat bass response in room

Hi Alan,

Great pics, and a lovely system. You own arguably the best turntable I've ever heard, built like a hi-end turntable should be, with no-compromise engineering! Hope you continue enjoy contributing to AoS.

Marco.
